Sometimes we are tempted to just wait for inspiration before taking any action. If we intend to meditate every day but are having a hard time actually doing it---perhaps waiting for inspiration---it can help to act from a place of devotion instead of dedication. Think of beauty instead of intellect. Choose to be an artist instead of a fundamentalist.
Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art, says "the more important a call or action is to our soul's evolution, the more resistance we will feel towards pursuing it." So what are we really afraid of? Pursue it, not like an amateur waiting for the fear to be gone before taking any step, but like a professional, knowing that there will always be fear, but doing it anyway.
